Our Mission
Cultivating Progress and Community, One Harvest at a Time.
Inspired by the community Kwacele Farm, a community-centered farm in Maphumulo, grows more than crops—we grow people and opportunities. Through shared ownership, we empower workers, support families, and share the harvest for a thriving future.
ABOUT OUR STORY
In 1998, 526 claimants of the KwaCelel Nhlangwini community in Stanger, KwaZulu-Natal, submitted a claim for the restoration of land rights over 12 independently white-owned farms in terms of the Restitution of Land Rights Act, 1994 (Act No. 22 of 1994). With the claim's success came the first piece of land and an opportunity that would provide the community with a new beginning.
The KwaCele-Nhlangwini Communal Property Trust was formed by land beneficiaries of the Land Redistribution for Agricultural Development in the KwaCele Area. Previously farmed by commercial companies, the land was consolidated under the Trust to represent the interests of the claimant beneficiaries.
Our farming goals are at the heart of the community.
The KwaCele-Nhlangwini group main aim is to enhance productivity, sustainability, and profitability by ensuring high-quality farm products, maintaining year-round sugarcane and banana production, delivering reliably and professionally, and generating dividends for the KwaCele-Nhlangwini Communal Property Trust shareholders.

How long have you been in business?

Do you have any job opportunities?
We don’t often have job openings, as we usually hire from within the local community. However, if any positions are available, they will be listed on our vacancies page.
Can we come visit your farm?
As the farm is a working business, we generally don’t allow visits without prior notice. However, we do occasionally host farm visits and talks to connect with the community and learn more about the challenges other farmers face.
